The diplomat noted that relations between Russia and Argentina are currently developing well, and if the Argentine side joins the BRICS, they can become even stronger.
“Relations are friendly, warm, time-tested.
Of course, there is potential for development in various areas, but it is the membership of Argentina in the BRICS, it seems to me, that would allow our relations to be further cemented from all points of view, ”TASS quotes him.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Iran and Argentina had applied to join the BRICS.
The head of the BRICS, Purnima Anand, also noted that Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia may soon join the forum.
